AB....

....those free cell phones are paid for by taxes on our cable bill. Comcast was not given permission to buy NBC until they agreed to give free cell phones to everyone with certain qualifications such as eligible for food stamps, on disa....etc.

The reason this was negotiated with the big cable companies was that oncit, when all phones were in the home it was determined, by those in charge of emotions, that poor souls on welfare can’t get a job if they HAVE NO PHONE!

Thus it was determined that a phone should be provided, free of charge, to the poor. Once cell phones became all the rage it was agreed on that, well hey, now we should give free CELL PHONES to the poor. The pubs knew nothing about this?

It’s as much of a product promo as an actual need. They get free minutes with their free cell phone but not all that many. Of course they then use their welfare money to buy minutes and when the dust settles, cable companies kind of break even on the deal while you and I pay for this, so cleverly....take a look at your cable bill folks. Mine has almost ten bucks a month extra for fed taxes....then some for state.

I say give out the free hats by TAXING hats bought by others, like the cell phone thing. Simultaneously with the free hats for life campaign, we have another campaign about head lice.

“Your child will never get head lice on the Surgeon General certified lice-free headgear by approved hat vendors”.

This is how you do this guys, I got to tell you everything?

How about all Americans get a free home security system by ADT?

We tax ADT for all sales and those poor homeowners who can’t purchase a safe alarm to protect them against intruders who would murder them.

Pubs need to think outside the box else the Dems/liberals will take over the world.

The program did not originate under Obama. It originated under Open Checkbook George W.

Even so, the Pubbies didn't know how to take credit and use it.

Which brings up another contention: I sometimes wonder whether the GOP really do want to win and become the Congressional majority and have the White House. That means they have responsibility. Why take that on, when, as the minority, they still get 'stuff' in legislation; they just don't get as much as the Majority party does. They seem very contented to be minority.
